The Caring Championships are an open team competition that aims to inspire people to volunteer and work together to create well-being, community spirit and a culture of responsible caring. The competition facilitates rewarding encounters between different target groups and increases mutual understanding and compassion.

Teams formed by companies, associations, clubs, educational institutions, daycare centres, hobby groups and residents can participate in the Caring Championship and volunteer work. Team members participating in the competition earn points for their team by doing volunteer work during April and May.

We invite residents, communities and parishes to organise group volunteer activities as organisers of the SM-kisat competition events, i.e. to act as competition venues during April and May.
